Paul in the Bible tells us that he had learned to be content whatever was happening to him. His confidence was in Jesus, so whether he was well fed and warm or if he was in a shipwreck, whatever was happening he was content, because he knew Jesus was His Saviour. He was even unsure whether he wanted to be alive because he knew that to be with Jesus would be far better. His only reason to go on living was so that he could help his christian brothers and sister to find this same contentment that he had. Those of us in the West have very pampered lives and yet we moan. We need to take a leaf out of Paul's book. Those of you who have genuinely difficult lives can be encouraged knowing that Jesus has your best interests at heart. Those who love Him are promised abundant life here and in the time to come. All our earthly problems will then melt away. Just as a bad toothache is soon forgotten when a tooth is taken out, so all this life's very difficult days will melt away as we enter heaven to sing praises to our Lord Jesus. What a wonderful day and I will meet you there, but I think we will both be too busy worshiping Our Lord to pay much attention to each other then. But it would be nice to meet the people who have read my Blog!!
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
